Benjamin Wheeler

** This poem is in memory of Benjamin Wheeler, one of the children who was a victim in the Sandy Hook Shooting. Benjamin was a skilled swimmer, a Beatles fan, and loved lighthouses.



Benjamin fills our bodies with warmth and love.

As he swims through the coldness to bring us happiness.



He will get us  soaked but Benjamin's smile will dry up all our pain.

As he meets some of the Beatle members in Heaven.



The lighthouses will then light up the ocean.

For a bright and spirited boy has swam into the arms of the Lord.
